I'm a bit if a sucker for a cutesy romance movie, not gonna lie. It doesn't matter what the age audience it's supposed to appeal to, it will get me every time. I'm just a hopeless romantic like that.
One such movie in particular is monte Carlo starring Leighton Meester, Selena Gomez, and Katie Cassidy. It was a really cute movie actually! I really kinda liked it a lot.
I think Leighton Meester's character Meg was my favorite. But I also love Laightob Meester. I use to live Selena Gomez until she turned lesbian and started dating Justin Beiber! Bleh Puke.
Basically, these three girls go to Monte Carlo and meet Emma's (Selena) look alike. Time and time again, Emma is mistaken for this celebrity and is forced to go in her place around Europe to promote this auction.
Basically the movie is The Lizzie McGuire Movie in steroids. Just sayin'. But it was still really good.
So go see it!

Spring Busy
I swear, I jinx everything, literally. I have jinxed practically everything this week. For example, yesterday at the rodeo, this guy I really wanted to win tie-down had a great shot of winning, but I said, "Watch, he'll probably miss the calf when he tries to rope him..." and he did...
I also said earlier that all spring break I was going to watch a ton of movies, and relax and tan and so forth...
I've done none of that.
This has been the busiest Spring Break EVER. Bu that's OK, because today was all about movies. Me and my sister have been watching movies all day. (And for me last night too).
First things first, No Strings Attached. Definitely one of my new favorite movies. It had Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher. OMG I LOVE ASHTON.
The movie was actually really cute though. It had a really cute romantic storyline. All I can say is that I want to find Ashton's character in real life because he is Mr. Perfect, literally.
Next, me and my sister went to go see The Lorax this morning. It was sooo good. I love the Lorax by Dr. Suess, but the movie version was amazing. The same people that did Despicable Me did this movie and it was great. It really embodied everything and more that Dr. Suess tried to teach kids by writing that story.
OK- Last movie for now... The Kids Are Alright.
So Hunger Games comes out Thursday and my sister wants to watch all the movies with Josh Hutcherson and Jennifer Lawrence in them. This movie was one of them. Not a big fan of the whole lesbian family portrayal, but it was a good movie overall, not that I ever plan on seeing it again, but at least I can say that I've seen it. It definitely Had the same feel as most of the movies out there with all these awards, which is probably why it got so many nods and awards. But like I said, not my cup of tea. And it probably should've been rated NC-17 or X, R is a little generous. But yea, that's all for now.
Peace Out Kids.

Wayyyy Cool
Netflix is getting awesome! Correction: more awesome than it already was!!!
It just released a ton of documentaries by CNBC and they're actually really neat. I just watched one about McDonald's called Big Mac: Inside McDonald's. Not only did it show the good aspects of McDonald's but the bad aspects as well. I learned a lot of cool things too!
Did you know that McDonald's has a head chef? Yep! He and other chefs are constantly inventing new things to go on the menu! So cool!
If you have time, check out these documentaries, they're only 45 minutes long! (:

Being Famous
Before I get started, I wanted to clarify a few things. Just like J.K. Rowling did in the The Goblet of Fire when Hermione told Krum how to pronounce her name!
Many people ask me, "You only want to see 1001 movies?" or "You haven't seen 1001 movies yet?"
People seem to think that this blog is the quest to see ANY 1001 movies before I die, but that is NOT the case.
Trust me, I've seen many more than 1001 movies already, just look at my Netflix account for proof...
This is the quest to see a specific 1001 movies before I die. I SPECIFICALLY want to the the 1001 movies that are in the book: 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die.
Now is everything crystal clear? Or do you need to clean your screen with some Windex?
Now time for the good stuff.
Another actress that I really want to see all of her movies is Sandra Bullock. Let's see how I'm doing so far, shall we?
Of course, just because she's in a movie doesn't mean she's actually "in" it...
For example, last night me and my sister watched Lisa Picard is Famous... She was "in" it for about 10 minutes.
This movie LPF (as I will shorten it) is a mockumentary. This is my first experience with a mockumentary. I didn't like the movie at all, obviously. The whole time I thought it was a documentary, before I was on Netflix that it was a fake, but then I was a bit relieved.
This movie follows the life of Lisa Picard and her best friend Tate as they travel on the long hard road to becoming famous. The documentarian is constantly asking people if they think Lisa will cut it, when she very obviously does not have what it takes to become an actress, but they of course, always say yes. The whole movie is basically making fun of the millions of people who think they have what it takes to become the next big thing, when in reality, they are nothing close to it.
It features a lot of celebrity cameos, with the likes of such, including, Charlie Sheen, Spike Lee, and of course, Sandra Bullock.
Her part in the film was actually one f the funniest parts. Lisa and Tate ran into her at a US store and start talking to her like they've known her their whole life. Poor Sandra, so confused, but pretends to know them, she even let's the documentarian interview her for a bit. But her 15 minutes of fame in that movie did not make it worth it to sit through the whole thing. So please don't waste your time. This is your final warning.
Oh, and I hope you all know that my translation for Spring Break is Non-stop movies and blogging, so keep up with my posts or you'll be very behind and might miss something important! (;
Enjoy the break while it lasts, and watch more movies!!!
Peace Out Kids.

Ok - weird.
Haha so I just got done watching Winter's bone with Jennifer Lawrence. She's the main reason me and my sister watched it. My sister is freakishly obsessed with her just because she plays Katniss in the Hunger games.
Don't get me wrong, I love Jennifer Lawrence, but this movie was no bueno.
Don't watch it. Honestly.
I'm giving it two stars.
Jennifer received an Oscar for her role making her the second youngest person to win. It was much deserved, honestly, she's an amazing actress in the film.
But the movie was awful. I got so bored halfway through it I started doing random stuff, like painting my toes and getting on pinterest.
It's about a girl searching for her drug maker father so she can support her family, but it's violent and hick and weird... Everyone she meets is related to her somehow. That southern backwoods thing I guess.. Except northern in like wisconsin or something. I don't know...
Well anyways...

Movie Day!!!!
Ok be prepared for lots of short posts! After each movie I watch I'll update you!
Rainy day + me + bored sister = lots of random movies...
First was some stand up comedy routine by Zach Galifiniakis (or however you smell it...)
It was pretty funny, we give it 3 stars. I've seen funnier but it was so random and funny. I mean, zach g is so funny, look at him!
They had a bunch of interviews with his "twin brother" Seth, but I have an inkling that it was just zach in disguise...
My favvv part was the end where he does this weird ripping paper thing like he did on SNL, which I strongly recommend his episode of SNL, or any episode of SNL for thy matter.
Ok time for the next movie, so I'll be back soon!

Bang Bang, Shoot 'Em Up, Shoot 'Em Up, Yeah
So, I have this thing, where I feel the need to watch every movie by a certain actress and/or actor. You might have noticed that in my past posts. I've given a "counter" of movies I've seen by Resse Witherspoon, Meryl Streep, Woody Allen, Jennifer Aniston, Rachel McAdams, and now, I'm about to do one for Amanda Seyfried!
Yay! (Get Excited!!!)
Ever since I saw her in Mamma Mia! I fell in love with her as an actress. Then, I found out she was dumb Karen from Mean Girls! This girl is a great actress! So anyways, I've actually seen a majority of her movies and she was a main character on the show Big Love for a while, so I'll have to make a point to see that eventually. But yea, here's what I've seen and what I thought of it!
Now, like I said, I just watched American Gun, which Amanda Seyfried was in for a total of about two minutes... >.< But, I watched it and can cross it off the list, Thank Goodness.
SUPER DEPRESSING.
American Gun is a story about three different stories (I know confusing) that all have to do with guns. A lot of people get killed, a lot of guns are shot, and there's a lot of bombs dropped (not the killing kind though, the f-bomb). It wasn't exactly my cup of tea. The movie was really disjointed, and a bit confusing, but overall it was just pretty depressing.
It had a lot of semi-big-name actors and actresses: Donald Sutherland, Forest Whitaker, Nikki Reed, and Marcia Gay Harden, but they just didn't sell the movie to me. It just kinda put me in a bummer mood honestly. The ending was awful, it left so many unanswered questions. But, it was one of those movies that really get you thinking. It left a real impact on me, in an unexplainable sort of way.
I wouldn't exactly recommend watching this if your looking for entertainment value, but if you looking for something that will leave you thinking, it's not a bad choice. My instinct was that I hated the movie, but the more I thought about it, I just wasn't a fan, and it was OK overall, which is why I gave it 2 stars. It's not really something I plan on seeing again, but I can always say that I've seen it.
Also, I've noticed that my entries are a lot longer when I do them on the computer... Haha.
Kbye.
Peace Out Kids.

- American Gun (2 Stars) - I actually watched this today, so the review is coming afterwards!
- Mamma Mia! (5 Stars)
- Dear John (4 Stars) [and a great book if you haven't read it]
- Letters to Juliet (5 Stars and one of my all-time favs!)
- Started to watch Chloe, but never finished it...

Movies Are This Girl's Best Friend
So... Can I just say, I've been a bit of an over-achiever this week...
I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, that I've posted at least four posts in the past week alone?
NEW RECORD!
And I also watched another movie from the book.
That's right. I only have 934 more movies to watch! BOOYAH.
Now, before I get too far ahead of myself, let me start by breaking some pretty depressing news to you guys.
I was at the bookstore the other day, and I saw this book. It's called 1001 Movies you must see before you die.
Big deal right, I already have it and am currently on the quest to watch all 1001 movies.
IT'S A NEWER EDITION.
So pissed. So pissed.
So here's my plan. I watch all 1001 movies in MY edition, and then I go buy the latest edition when I'm done and watch the new movies, that way, I won't be constantly updating my movie list. This just seemed WAYY easier.
OK - now for my latest and greatest movie, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, a Marilyn Classic.
No - not Marilyn Manson you dummies, but Marilyn Monroe.
Would you believe that this is the first Marilyn movie I'd ever seen. I couldn't believe it myself. She is such an icon for film and music, I'm surprised it took me so long. Part of the reason I chose this movie was because of that new show, Smash. It's pretty awesome and it's about a play about the life of Marilyn Monroe. So I love this show, but realized I'd never seen one of her movies. So today, I watched one. And I really liked it!
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is the story of two friends who go to Paris. While on the ship to Paris, the blonde, Lorelei Lee (Marilyn's character) is stalked by a detective hired by Lee's fiance's father, who disapproves of their relationship. And along the way, the detective falls in love with Lee's friend Dorothy (who is played by the stunning Jane Russell). It's a really interesting story, even though it was a bit predictable.
The title is a bit ironic however, since the detective falls for the brunette. At least, that's my opinion. I love this movie for the music, the actresses and actors, and of course the era. I swear, the 50s is one of my favorite era's in film, clothing, and music. There's some romantic charm about it that I can't resist. I was singing along to every song, and I really want to watch the movie over and over again.
The movie's most famous song is "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend", and although I may not agree with that statement, I do agree that Russell and Monroe teamed together in this movie was a perfect fit, and it's definitely a movie worthy of it's title to see before you die.
I look forward to watching more golden classics like this, and seeing much more of the icon and star that we call Marilyn.
Peace Out Kids.

The Truth is Ugly
What's super sexy and is from overseas?
If you guessed Gerard Butler, you were right.
Man I would love a slice of that Irish pie, just sayin'.
But in all seriousness, I just watched his movie The Ugly Truth and it was so good! Definitely four stars. It's basically your classic romcom or chick flick, really predictable but cute jut the same. And plus I really love Katherine Heigl.
So if you're just looking for a nice movie that'll make you laugh and fall in love, this is a great one. It is rated R though, so a few uncomfortable scenes for younger ages, but still a good funny story overall.
Peace Out Kids.
